HIS FAMILY:
Amost remarkable aspect of the Babangida phenomenon is his exemplary family life. For a devout Moslem, it remains remarkable that he remained faithful and dedicated to his life long wife and partner, Maryam. Together, they raised four children in a very close- knit family.
Their marriage resulted in four remarkable children: Aisha, Muhammed, Aminu and Halima.
Happily, each of these children has justified the excellent educational opportunities that they have received from this remarkable family.
Aisha is a successful mobilizer on gender equity issues, rural development and poverty alleviation. She is trailing the path of gender equity and people empowerment left by her late mother, the much admired Mrs. Maryam Babangida.
Muhammed is a successful business man with interests in real estate, education and security.
Aminu is a successful businessman with interests in a broad variety of areas ranging from banking and finance, oil and energy. He is currently the Chairman of Unity Bank Plc.
Halima is a business woman with interests in agriculture and property development.
